The terrorist attack was very much unexpected. And as we all are aware, President Barak and his family was in Honolulu, Hawaii having a vacation. This did not stop The Obama's from enjoying themselves in this paradise. I was thinking that it was very silly for this 23-year-old Nigerian man to have any kind of motive to blow up the airplane. I was wondering what President Obama's thoughts were about this. I find it sad that he was on vacation and had to find out that an terrorist had plans to attack the Detroit flight from Amsterdam. As we all know, circumstances are going to happen, that is life. What are your feelings towards this situation? I just wanted to add that things like this can have an effect on kids as well. Why do terrorist just intend only to plot. They don't know how many lives that they have affected. I wished that all of these bad guys were captured. On the world wide news, it stated that there are over 500,000 potential terrorists that are on the run from the government. This is very scary to hear about.cry Of all of the people in the world, this portion is designed to kill many people. I really am praying that a solution can be implemented in collecting all of the terrorist and making this world a safer place from terror. It is going to take some time, I know. I and many others just want to see justice served against the terrorists.cry

pft..it's almost not worth going out anymore. if it's not terrorists,it's a homegrown nutcase being evil at the post office,or anywhere else they feel conveniant. makes me want to invest in kevlar. i hope that nigerian enjoyed fried nuts for christmas,cause that's what he got. [scarlet_woman]
lol@ fried nuts lol [Aliceinwebland]
Hi cream~ I think put this into words quite eloquently! As for President Obama's vacation being interupted, well that is another whole issue! He is the President! That is his job and no matter where he is and when things happen that is just too bad! This was a very serious matter that needed his attention immediately, holiday or not! This happened on Christmas! It could have been so much worse if this terrorist's plans had worked! There would have been hundreds or more people dead! Thankfully his plans didn't work and he will now be punished and hopefully others will be caught! But, this is now an issue that has been brought back to light again and is very upsetting! It has only been nine years since 9/11! I am a New Yorker and I don't even want to think what horrors could possibly happen if these sick baastards get another chance to get through the TSA and be able to make another terrorist strike! God Bless America and please keep us all safe!!! [Opal26]
It would take him time to get home though, in order to make a statement about it. [Aliceinwebland]
cream97 this is just plain evil and how did he manage to get past security? as for obama he had no idea this was going to happen , he did not cause it, and why blame him for everything that happens in the US. we need to get these terrorists out of our country even if we have to shoot them down like wild dogs Iknow I sound vicious but we are way to kind to these scum when we do catch them. Other countries are not so humane and maybe when its terrorists we should not be either. a dead terrorist cannot kill. [Hatley]
Hi, Hatley. Yes, it is not the Presidents fault at all. It is so sad that these terrorists just aim to kill and destroy. [cream97]
I don't want to fly anymore. This last one was too close to home. I think I will stay on the ground when I want to travel. [royal52gens]
I don't blame you royal52gens. I would have done the same thing myself. No wonder, I am afraid of flying. If these terrorists keep this up, no one will want to ride on a airplane anymore. Not unless they are brave enough to.rolleyes [cream97]
Hi cream97, The trouble is that the law is too soft, there are too many terroriest living in our country without the goverment knowing about it, too many illgal people coming into our country and some of them are terrorist, it is like that in your country too and the sooner the goverment flush them out the better. Tamara [tamarafireheart]
Yes, you are right tamaarheart. We live under terrorist and criminals each and everyday and the government has no idea. They have not even caught up with Ben yet and I know that they are going to have a hard time catching the other bad guys too. They need to tighten up on their security teams! [cream97]
hiya cream I heard about this terrorist plot on the news and those terrorists don't disriminate... they'll kill anyone and everyone, yes even the innocent and the young and the elderly, black, white, rich or poor, they don't give a dam! angry We are all evil in their eyes, but we all know that they are the evil ones. I hope too that measures are taken to prevent them getting through and believe the authorities are doing a pretty good job so far. Alice happy [Aliceinwebland]
Authorities need to be on alert as much as possible for criminals as these. After this taking place, I am sure that they will try to get rough and tough on these evil minded criminals! I know that innocent people are not criminals. I wonder how we are all evil, when they are the ones that seek to destroy usll! I don't know them and they don't know me.. So, how am I evil??? In God's eyes, all of us are sinners that have fallen short of the glory of God! So, these like minded terrorists are included too! I will be glad when they are all punished!angry [cream97]
Terrorists win if they're able to strike fear into the hearts of americans or anyone else that they're trying to target. Obama won't let that happen. And to be honest, so much crap like this happens everyday now. Eventually people will become desensitized to it all. And no matter what kind of security that these guys or any other government will try to do to secure it's people, there will always be a way to get by that. The only way to fully protect is to fully strip people of their rights and freedoms. [RevampSkunk]
Hi, RevampSkunk. I agree with you. Even having security will not make a difference. If it did, this man would have never made it on the flight with the bomb explosives. We are all terrified of these people, they will put fear in us when we think about them. But, I know who my God is and he will protect us all, from these evil minded people. We will just have to pray.. [cream97]
I don't really get why anyone would want to kill another human being. It never makes sense to me. [poingly]
Hi, poingly. I can never understand it myself. What satisfaction do people get out of killing others. I would like to know myself. I mean killing innocent people is really crazy!cry [cream97]
It is scary to think there are that many out there, you never know who you may be talking to, they may be planning on blowing you up one of these times, its very scary. I hope this man gets punished in the way he deserves, I don't understand how easy it is for people like these to get on our airplanes, that's why I'm never flying. I'm praying that a solution can be found also, I know it will take some time, but I'm ready to have a peaceful safer place to live. [walijo2008]
Yes, it is so cruel. And now this terrorist expects others to feel sorry for him. They were saying on the news that he was very lonely and that no one wanted to talk to him. I am very lonely too, but that does not give me the right to go and try to blow up the entire nation. They said that he posted in forums and such. I just think that he needed guidance. Jesus guidance, that is.rolleyes [cream97]
Hi there cream97. First of all, Hawaii is definitely a relaxing place for vacation and I'd love to go there someday to chill out and enjoy the sights and sounds. As for this terrorist topic, actually come to think of it, no place is quite safe anymore. Like I have this idea like anything can happen at anytime and anyplace and it's so surreal. It's frighteningly scary knowing that our love ones are going to work and whether they will be safe or not, whether our parents at home are safe or not and stuff like that. It is really a wondrous thought which could be worrying. I even do not have the desire to travel so much anymore, because of this. Partly because of this. Like you too, I hope that there will an end to terrorism. Blowing up people is definitely not the solution.. [zed_k4]
Thank you for the Br...wink [zed_k4]
Hi Cream, the underwear bomber is just another example of American intelligence not working properly. He was on a suspect list but his name was not forwarded to airlines and the US were quite happy to give him a visa to visit even though his name was on a suspect terrorist data base. The Yemen where he had taken a little terrorist training prior to this needs to have more attention paid to it as a country used to spawn terrorists, this is another example of a disaffected youth thinking that jihad has something to offer due to religious indoctrination. It's a pity that some of the brains behind these terror groups can't put themselves forward as the bombers and blow themselves up as an example of not really a good career move to become a want to be terrorist. Many of those recruited move from country to country, such as English ones going off to be indoctrinated in Afghanistan and now the rise in those going through the process in Yemen. But the fault in this instance clearly lies with the intelligence process, as US security had the intelligence on this one, but failed to do anything beyond giving the guy a visa. [thea09]
Hi, thea09. I am so glad that they have captured this terrorist. He and others are still wanted and I am looking forward to their fall as well.wink [cream97]
Thats why they call them terrorist they spread terror,they don't care if its christmas or they kill innocent people,or how much they disrupt normal life.In actual fact they love it all,we get up in the morning and try to live a good day,helping people and supporting our friends,They wake up and think who's life can we ruin today,how many people can we maim.One day it will all be over but not for a couple of generations as you are dealing with hard core nasty beliefs. [suzzy3]
Hi, suzzy3. That is very sad. Here I am living my normal life and all of these terrorists are just thinking whom can they strike next. Wow!!!shocked And here I am thinking that we have enough criminals in the world only to discover that these like minded individuals are just getting started. I will be glad when they bare all locked up and behind bars for life.glare [cream97]
Hello my friend cream97 Ji, A terrorist has no human feelings, as such he never thinks about situation including his/her own safety. It is some non-social elements at the cost of terrorist benifits lure them to compromise and kill people. When President Kennedy was assissinated, was terrorism not behind. I feel very bad why US, claiming to be super-power have totally failed on this front and unable to control anywhere as a part to throw away terrorism. Why antiaction is still under blue print. Is it not improper norms by the Government all over the world.Why there should be loop holes anywhere in the channel. Why we can not find culprits and hang them on the spot. Till then , we will suffer, let it be Obama OR Pratibha Patil. Let's devote some time and configure to find out proper soluion. I amwith you. May God bless You and have a great time. [maygodblessu44]
